The Basic Difference between Micro USB Cable and USB Type C 3.1 Cable can be detected mainly by the physical construction of Pin and functionality.

for basic understanding lets say USB 2.0 has 4 pins and USB 3.0 has 5 pins because of that USB 3.0 is faster in charging and data transfer as well as expansive

USB 2.0 standard is the most commonly used for USB A Because of its low price and very much similar functionality

Moving back to the second part of your cable USB Type C is becoming more famous in Bharat (India) because of feature it offers in a very low increase of price (in compare to Micro USB Cable)
